Town: The little village of Hurst Green is nestled in scenic Lancashire countryside, in the Ribble Valley district, on the edge of the Forest of Bowland. The village holds a strong connection to J.R.R Tolkien’s creation of middle earth as the author spent most of his time at Stonyhurst College working on The Lord of the Rings during the Second World War. The village is home to a rustic pub, a café and a restaurant, while Clitheroe is nearby and offers a great choice of shops, providing options for holidaymakers.
